Answer:

D). $773.09

Explanation:

Alex's monthly payment of the mortgage in the course of the initial fixed-rate period would be $773.09.

Mortgage amount = $140,000

Initial period of the mortgage = 7 years

Total time period = 30 years

Interest rate = 5.25%

Monthly mortgage payment for Alex = P * r [tex](1 + r )^{n}[/tex]/[tex](1 + r) ^{n}[/tex] - 1

= $773.09
